BANGOR, July AIN addition to the
wounds upon the head of the unknown man
found in the river near Blackman Mills,
Monday, with two holes in the neck, sup
posed to have been made by bullets, the
appearance of the wounds has led to grave
suspicious of foul play. Among the rumors
in regard to the affair is one to the effect that
one night about two weeks ago a woman
living near Bradley heard a number of men
loudly talking short distance from the
house and judged from the angry remarks
that they had been drinking. Finally num-
Der of shots were fired and she heard one of
the men say: "You won't bother anybody
any more" Then they went off and moth
ing further happened. Whether this has
any connection with the affair remains to be
seen.

DR.. MccLYNN's FRIEND
Getting Into Trouble for Presiding at
a Labor Picnic.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-The possibility Of
the suspension by Archbishop Corrigan of
the Rev. DR.. Curran for presiding at the pic
mic of the United Labor party of the Eight
eenth Assembly district in Brommer's Union
Park. on Tuesday evening last, and intro
ducing DR.. McGlynn to the audience, was
generally discussed yesterday by Roman
Catholic priests and laymen. If Archbishop
Corrigan has DR.. Curran's suspension in con-
temptation, he is not ready to say so, for he
was asked at the archepiscopal residence
last evening, what course he would take con-
cerning DR.. Curran, and replied that he had
nothing to make public on the subject.
DR.. Curran, after the picnic on Tuesday,
went to DR.. McGlynn's Brooklyn residence
with him and remained until yesterday. All
day yesterday, DR.. Curran was in and out of
the Land and Labor Club headquarters, at
room %, in the Cooper Union. His valse he
left there all day, and he took it at night
and returned to Saugerties, the parish to
which Archbishop Corrigan transferred him
from Ellenville three months ago. To a re-
porter who asked him what he meant to
have understood by his accepting the chair
manship of the meeting at Brommer's Park.
DIR. Curran replied Il have nothing to say."
DR.. McGlypn was found yesterday with
Henry George in the editorial rooms of the
Standard, and was asked under what cir

chairman of the Tuesday evening meeting.
DR.. McGlynn said:
"Dr. Curran came from Saugerties on
Tuesday to pay me personal visit, with no
thought of attending the United Labor pa--
ty's picnic, am sure. He found me at the
Standard Office, as | was about to go home |
was talking with Mr. George who remarked
in DR.. Curran's hearing that he, Mr.. George,
was expected to speak at the picnic, but that
he could not go. Then he urged DR.. Curran
to take his place, and Joined in the entreaty.
DR.. Curran, after some urging, consented to
go in Mr.. Georges place, and that is all there
is to that"
What, in your opinion, will be the result
to DIR. Curran?"
''By the new form of accommodation.
which was used in my own case, called ex-
communication in sacris, Roman Catholic
priest has right to go with an exeommuni-
Gated priest to picnic il he wants to or to
any other place proper for priest to be seen
in. The Archbishop will not make trouble
for DR.. Curran, l am sure, but | would be
quite resigned if he should make the mistake
of accommodating DR.. Curran.
DIR. Curran is young and handsome priest,
of fine presence and pleasing manners. Like
DR.. McGlynn, he is a graduate of the Propa-
ganda at Rome, but he is not endowed with
anything like the intellectual and oratorical
powers of the former. He was long an as
sistant of DIR. McGlynn at st. Stephens, and
he is his devoted sympathizer and admirer.

PoRT HURON, Mich, Aug. 4.-Matt Pink
erton, who has been at Sarnia for the past
two days, says he does not believe McGarigle
ever stopped there. The man who got off
the schooner Marsh was a blind and part Of
a scheme to insure his escape. Pinkerton
says his appearance Tailed with the boodler,
but his statements when interviewed do not
tally with McGarigle. From his own expe-
rience Pinkerton is satisfied McGarigle con-
tinued on board the schooner Blake and
went to Kingston. The boodler has friends
in Sarnia, but Pinkerton says that is only
for the purpose Of further misleading his
pursuers.
TORONTO, Aug. 4.-The Globe this morn
ing says there ought to be no ceremony
about surrendering convicted boodler OF
the McGarigle stripe. True, Canada Is not
legally bound to surrender him, but what DO
we want of him2 The New York papers
point out that under similar circumstances
Spain surrendered Tweed.

He added that he had come to Europe for
rest. He wanted TO be out of the range of
all possible misrepresentation of political
character. The report that he was contem-
plating any early return to the United States

absurd.

himself in favor of reciprocity with the

not prepared to say that commercial union
